Cross-cultural Intelligence for Managers
Coaching Managers Working in a Cross-cultural Context to Build Trust, Communicate Effectively, and Deliver Results
Bridging Cultural Gaps
Managing in a cross-cultural context can feel like walking through a minefield and make you question your capability; you have to read unfamiliar cultural cues, listen beyond what’s being said and relate in a way that is respectful and builds trust.
Language Of Success
Getting the job done is a challenge when there’s cultural miscommunication leading to friction in the team. Everyone’s walking on eggshells and precious time and energy is being lost. You’re desperate to get the team communicating well and working together effectively.
Delivering Results
You’re unsure if everyone is clear with their roles and responsibilities and understands what’s expected for the successful completion of the project. The clock is ticking and results are expected. How can you make decisions in a culturally sensitive way that keeps the team on board?
About Me
With over 20 years of experience in cross-cultural management, I am here to guide you towards successful intercultural interactions. From my beginnings as a Foreign Affairs Secretary in China, overseeing language teaching for international students, to my role as a strategic Project Manager, leading initiatives across 50 countries, I have honed my expertise in navigating diverse cultural landscapes.
Having lived and worked in various countries, including Thailand and the UK, I understand the challenges immigrants face and the importance of starting anew with determination. Throughout my career, I have witnessed the consequences of cultural misunderstandings, broken relationships, and failed projects. That’s why I am on a mission to equip managers with the knowledge and skills to navigate these challenges, harnessing the power of different cultural perspectives.
With a strong educational foundation, including a BA(Hon) in International Studies and an MSc in Development Management, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to my coaching practice. Additionally, as a certified coach and a member of the International Coaching Federation, I am committed to providing high-quality guidance and support.
Join me on this transformative journey towards cross-cultural intelligence. Together, we will unlock the potential of cultural diversity, fostering strong relationships and achieving remarkable outcomes. Trust in my expertise and let’s embark on this enlightening adventure together.
